The only likely effect is an increase in sales for beers that do not use barley.

Now I've got this image in my head of some sort of Dune-style planet full of the Irish and an economy determined by a lack of beer. He who controls the booze controls the universe.

I was going to make a joke about "something something still-suits" but that's probably the actual meaning behind the name.

I'm a little surprised that nobody's yet commented on Ted Cruz being utterly stumped in a debate by being asked to “Tell us something you’ve done in the last year that has nothing to do with politics that would give Texans insight to who you are as a person.” It means nothing in the long run, given Texas, but it's still funny.

Oh, and apparently Trump now has a "natural instinct for science" he apparently inherited from his uncle, who was a professor at MIT, and which he believes qualifies him to dispute climate research. We knew he'd warm up to Republican orthodoxy eventually.

Do you have a citation for that second one? I mean, it sounds real, but Trump is so hard to clearly parody...

Damnit Trump, if you have such an instinct for science, you're basically wasting your time as president! You're better off stepping down from office and helping the scientific community with your uncle-given preternatural insight for science!

I know about climate change! Nobody knows about climate change! The air is clean! I love air. It's very important to me.

My mom's dad's third cousin twice removed read a science textbook once, therefore I'm an expert on all things climate.  AMA

Admittedly, I'd have trouble with that questions too (I feel like "vidyagames" is not the image I want to be projecting), but on the other hand, I'm not running for Senate.

Well it's not like he can spell out his answer using cut-out letters/phrases from a magazine. In a debate, it's against the rules.
